Where to find a 14mm Allen
 
I have gone to every tool source in my county and the next, and unable to find one to do my rear end fluid. what sources has anyone else found??

Snap on, Matco, Baum tools, AST tools...just about anywhere.

I bought a 12, 14, & 17mm set on E-bay. I've used the 12 & 14 so far and they have worked just fine.

It has been a few years since I bought mine, but it came in a set of three sizes (10, 12 and 14 mm) sockets (with hex bit) from Autozone.

"oh look at me i have money, i can buy tools":silly: I made mine with a 14mm bolt and two nuts with some red loctite.

14mm bolt
 
Thats the the info i was looking for. I don't have money and buying one from SnapOn sounds way to expensive.

Where in Nor Cal are you? I bought mine at Harbor Freight in Santa Rosa and never had a problem with it. Some people don't like the place but the prices are good.

MBgrinder 09-22-2006 04:52 PM

I'm in Calaveras County. There is a Harbor freight in Stockton, what did yours cost?

I did better than that. Go to the hardware store and get a 3/8" coupling nut. It is a 1 1/2" or so long nut for putting two pieces of threaded rod together. The wrench it takes is 9/16" which is 14.3mm. Put one end in the hex socket bolt and a 9/16" or m14 wrench or socket on the other end and presto. Used it for my differential drain and fill plugs. Cost less than a buck, and you don't have alignment issues like you can have with the setup above.:D

Nice idea!

Autozone used to carry a set of 1/2" drive hex bits. 12, 14 and 17 mm. All for the princely sum of $8.50. The ones I bought from them were called "OEM" brand, and while not Snap-On quality, are surprisingly nice. This was a coupla' years ago. FWIW
